Can you eat Too Healthy - Follow Up

Neglecting my Duties

Hey Fam, Just wanted to stop through and let you know I haven't forgotten about you. What I need for you to do is leave a comment and let me know if you've tried any of the salads you saw in the previous post...
I'm really interested to see if anyone tried the sauerkraut salad. If you haven't, make sure that you do (and add your own spin but make sure to add something sweet like tomato to the concoction).

More posts coming soon.

Delicious Salad ingredients

Hey now, A good friend asked me to post the ingredients of some of the salads I have pictured in my previous post (Add A Salad). But for the life of me I just don't know what all of them hold.

Well, here's how it happens: I generally shop the grocer and the farmer's market for interesting things and they sit here in the fridge till I add them to some dish. I make a big salad about 5 times a week and eat on it all day or until it's finished. I simply don't have a set recipe. A salad, a soup, a stew is kinda like a smorgasbord; you should be able to add whatever is handy and fresh.

What I can do is list some of my favorite salad ingredients and that is what I'll do.

First off, I mostly make Spinach Salads, Green Salads (with a light and dark green mix), and Sauerkraut Salads - so far.

Some of my favorites things to add:

Capers
Artichoke Hearts
Mushrooms
Carrots
Beets
Tomato
Celery
Olives
Broccoli
sometimes Onion but not so much

Shop your fresh produce aisle and find your own favorites.

Oh! I also tend to use just some stone-pressed Olive Oil and maybe a little Apple Cider Vinegar or Red Wine Vinegar, so far. I've only been at it about 4 months, so I'm saving making all the special dressings until I'm kinda tired of these combos.

Good Luck and let me know when you make a great salad and what you used.

Many Blessings.

ADD A SALAD - Food Quest

Welcome to my Food Quest

Hey Fam, Well I been threatening to start a food blog to document my Raw Food Journey, and here it finally has come to fruition.

For a little history on my journey, I've been eating better since about 2004 when I got a great gig as the leading actor in a play and wanted to look and feel as sexy as I possibly could. For some reason that led me to a few books including 'NATURAL CURES "THEY" DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT' by Kevin Trudeau.

Where does this all lead, you say? Well, this reading of mine talked a lot about how food affects the body and some of the whys and wherefores of our modern diet (or lack of effective diet). At that time, I cut out a lot of fried foods at home and white pastas, salt, flour, etc.

Now in 2010 I came across another book called 'THE RAW FOOD DETOX DIET' by Natalia Rose; and it just spoke to me, so I decided to check it out of the library and started following (or trying to follow) the raw food lifestyle.

It's been wonderful so far. Four months later, I'm about 70-80% raw and feeling no rush to go further until my body and mind are ready. The recipes I found in the book, and online, have been tasty and satisfying. My energy is great and my skin feels, and looks, resilient and clearer. It's been a win-win situation, and I've found myself sharing my thoughts and the recipes with everyone I know.

Here I hope to post some photos, videos, and articles about my journey. Why? Well, I'm very much into sharing and want to help others and get feedback on possible things that may help me along my journey. I also have a food vlog on youtube at youtube.com/robertantonvlogs called Food Quest. These two things will intermingle and work together to bring you, I hope, an exciting take on one man's journey and one man's quest for a better life.

Be Blessed.
